Since 2018, Gibson has appeared in several films and short films, including A Night to Regret, Grace, Twisted Twin, Severed Road and Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire.

Early life and career Rory Gibson was born on November 22, 1995, in Long Beach, California. Gibson's father Gary Gibson was a professional football player who played for the San Francisco 49ers. In 2018, Rory portrayed Eric in the television film A Night to Regret, and the following year he appeared as Lucas Walker in the short film Grace. Gibson also portrayed Nathan in the Severed Road and Billy in How Jessica Died. Gibson had previously auditioned for a small role on the soap a few years prior but was unsuccessful, which Gibson believed was because they asked him to sing. When Gibson's agent sent him a casting notice about the role of Noah, Gibson sent in a self-tape. Gibson's storylines as Noah included his heartbreak with his ex-girlfriend Tessa Porter (Cait Fairbanks), moving from London back to Genoa City, working at New Hope, developing a romance with Allie Nguyen (Kelsey Wang) and the introduction of Noah's ex-girlfriend, Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver), who broke his heart. In November 2022, it was confirmed that Gibson and Wang had been moved to recurring status on the soap and they continued to make sporadic appearances until 2023. Charlie Mason from Soaps She Knows reported how viewers wanted Gibson and Wang to return as Noah and Allie. Their financial situation improved when he began working as a trainer at a gym in 2024. Though he only worked there for less than two weeks, Gibson called being part of the film "incredible" and an "amazing experience" and he enjoyed working with director Zack Snyder and actress Sofia Boutella.

In May 2025, it was announced that Gibson had joined the cast of the soap opera General Hospital as Michael Corinthos, taking over from Chad Duell. He made his debut in the episode that originally aired on May 23 of that year. Gibson originally read for a different role and spoke to the soap's executive producer, Frank Valentini; he was then called back for the role of Michael and had various screentests with other cast members before being cast. Gibson's family had watched the soap growing up and he first told his grandmother that he got the role as she was a "diehard" fan of the soap, who was very happy about the news. Matthew Biggin from Screen Rant believed that Gibson could "breathe new life into Michael as a character". Gibson expected to receive some negative reactions but felt "very welcomed" by viewers being "unbelievably, overwhelmingly kind". He has also noted that he felt more "fulfilled" than he did whilst on The Young and the Restless. Gibson practises Muay Thai and likes spending time outdoors. The following year, the couple announced the death of their dog, Clementine, on social media, with Gibson revealing that she had died from heart disease and heart failure after being diagnosed roughly a month prior, having been born with several birth abnormalities. Gibson had another dog named Chet, who died shortly before Gibson proposed to Ruelas in Hawaii.
